First of all, I am going to admit that I like Celine. She can sing.Then I must say that I did very nearly barf when I saw that calendar. I find whatshername's pictures of babies etc. too sugary to start with, but WHAT UP with having Celine pose?!!!! GACK! Or anybody, for that matter. Sheesh.Valentina (valentina at somebox dot com)

We-hey! Record amount of comments on this subject. Thanks for them - maybe I should leave knitting and write about other things. (And the blog will be one month old tomorrow, the counter approaching five thousand. How could I attract more visitors? Come here, we're fighting...)

Once again, it's a matter of taste. For me both C. Dion and A. Geddes cause the same kind of reactions as biting tin foil or scratching a blackboard with my nails. Flinching, shivers running down the spine. It's better to avoid all of those if you can.

About Me

Knitting has come to me quite naturally. Our whole family does something with their hands (knitting, crocheting, cross stitching), even my father has knitted himself mittens when he was only a boy. At the moment I'm really lucky, living in Central Europe and having a relatively easy access to German, French and British yarns. And that shows in my flat. I really enjoy all the different colours and the structures of the yarns and am always trying some new stuff, techniques, patterns. And this may sound like a cliché, but for me knitting is a journey, you never know what you're going to encounter on the way. Love the experience; whether I finish a garment or not is irrelevant.
